California State Library

Due to multiple requests directly from members of the legislature, CRB developed the new "California Legislative Results by Member Interactive" to break down bills passed, vetoed or held in appropriations or rules by member. Who had the most bills passed? Who had the most bills vetoed? Who had the highest percent of bills passed or vetoed? Learn the answers to these questions and more in the new interactive: https://public.tableau.com/app/profile/california.research.bureau/viz/BillResultsbyMemberInteractive/Summary

Data currently includes the 2019-2026 sessions

October is National Arts & Humanities Month!

Across California, the arts and humanities bring us together. They help us share stories, learn from one another, and better understand the places we call home.

This year, California Humanities, California for the Arts, the California State Library, and the California Arts Council are coming together to celebrate COMMON GROUND and the connections we create through the tapestry of California’s diverse stories.
